problem with ./runme in --batch mode. -- current p-o-m

[Alistair Tonner <Alistair@nerdnet.ca>]

	Hi folks:
	Looking to minimize my time and general frustration levels, I set about 
automating my kernel rebuild process ... including doing the *go get kernel*, 
go patch kernel, make dep, make modules, make bzimage.... its somewhat more 
complex than that but what I found is that there is a little hook in ./runme 
if one invokes ./runme with --batch one invokes a loop at line 749 as 
follows... 

# Check to see if there is excluded patches
EXCLUDED=
while [ "$1" = "--exclude" ]; do
    EXCLUDED="$EXCLUDED $2"
    shift
    shift
done


 --- Correct me if I'm utterly off base, but does that second shift not close 
the loop by making $1 != --exclude for a long list of excluded suite/patches?

I'm trying to run this with patches I know that work (and install well) with a 
particular kernel .... and my little scripty b0rks at this and misapplies 
patches that I most definately do not want on my system ... and several that 
don't apply ...
